According to the National Safety Council, falls were the leading cause of nonfatal injuries for all age groups except for 15-24 year olds. Thousands of people are injured or killed due to falls from ladders or scaffolding at work. Of all occupational injuries, falls are the second leading cause of death after highway accidents. The cost of compesation and down time amounts to billions every year.
When you use any attachment to a lader can you need be 100% sure the equipment you are using is not going impact on the safety of the ladder you are climbing.
There are no safety standards for ladder accessories in most countries, so here at K&S Metals, we took the minimum standards for testing commercial ladders and adapted them for our accessories. We care about our users. Not only did we adapt these standards but we made them tougher as okay is not good enough.
Connection to the ladder must be quick and easy. A tough square section aluminium profile, which is fabricated to create a rigid and tough interface between the ladder and stand off. It also had to fit varying distances between standard, certified ladder rungs. Standard to all our wall and roof access ladder stand offs, we can powder coat this to your ow colour requirement or bright dip to give you a long lasting natural aluminium finish.
Attachment to the ladder rungs is achieved without the need for nuts, bolts and other time consuming methods. We decided on using springs and hooks and allowed a two setting configuration for the differing distances between the rungs of ladders in the market.
Whilst some people also use this system, we are the only manufacturers using two sets of hooks and springs. These are zinc plated and replacements are always available.
Once attached to your extending ladder wheels were needed for raising and lowering over weather boards, concrete and any potential obstacle.
We designed a square nylon hub with a four inch NBR rubber wheel which squeezes flat when the ladder is climbed up stopping the wheels from potentially turning when in use.
